Chapter 100: Walking on Two Legs
"But money is the most basic component of the state, and one of the most basic rights that a country has is the right to mint money."
"So who knows, apart from the right to mint money, what other rights a country should have?"
"Lafayette, what do you think of being the devil's sheriff."
Leo's naming made Lafayette smile slightly, stood up, lifted his top hat, and waved his own: "I'm afraid it's the right to punish." β
From the moment he was named, the answer had already appeared.
"That's right, but to be more precise: the law."
"The law also includes: judicial power, legislative power, law enforcement power and executive power."
"The previous Sky Island was just a very primitive state, almost a word of God, and here we have to talk about another thing: the state system."
"Countries all over the world are almost different, but they can be roughly divided into one category."
"Monarchy is a dictatorship, which means that everything is decided by a [monarch]."
"This system is very typical of the people of the Sky Island, Ganful, you were the entire [dictatorship] of the Sky Island before, and everything in the entire Sky Island is your word, right?"
"Well, that's true." Gan Ful is not a bad person, he is just an old man, he stroked his beard and nodded gently: "But the old man dares to say that the old man has never done anything to be sorry for the inhabitants of the Sky Island." β
"The problem is not whether you have a good personality, but whether you care about the system or not, and uncertainty, you are a good person who can let Sky Island have a good time, but how should your successor solve it if he is a tyrant?"
"Anilu, for example, is that a good material for a tyrant?" Leo looked at Anilu, who was leaning on the door of the tent and secretly listening to the class, and smiled at him.
And the fact is that if it weren't for Leo and their appearance, Anilu would have become the god of the Sky Island long ago, and all the young and middle-aged laborers of the Sky Island would have been pumped to other places to build his ark motto.
"Hmph." Anilu snorted, but didn't feel anything wrong with being a tyrant.
He knew about things like natural devil fruits, and even Hailou Shi knew that he had obviously been to Qinghai, and on Qinghai, he was almost invincible, and he had seen countless tyrants in the kingdoms of Qinghai, and compared to him, those tyrants were more excessive, more cruel, and more terrifying.
The psychological advantage he had built up was not only in strength, but also in the knowledge he had seen more of these junk monarchs.
But no matter how much the monarch has seen, the Sky Island and the Sandians are like monkeys, Anilu is always a few heads shorter in front of Leo - this guy seems to have more insight than he does.
Even if he has a wide range of knowledge, Leo is always better than him in terms of opinions.
In addition to his strength, he was crushed by Leo in all other aspects, including his bearing and courage.
So he was very unhappy with Leo's statement now, but he couldn't find the slightest way to refute his wordsβand he didn't bother to refute it.
"So the next system should be a political system in which intellectuals wake up and start demanding rights." They hadn't seen it, but Leo had described it to them.
"The next path will be twofold."
"A constitutional monarchy, or a prime minister."
"The aristocratic power of many countries will be very strong, but it still can't be compared with the monarch, so the monarch will select the weaker political forces to become their own help to suppress the stronger aristocratic forces, and these small political forces will take away part of the king's rights, this is the source of the prime minister system, the fundamental reason is that the progressive society makes the king more and more incapable of management, or will not manage ordinary people and things, so a part of the rights are divided."
The earth buns of the empty island don't understand, but don't the pirates in Qinghai still don't understand?
Estimated and touched, it was exactly the same as Leo said.
"And the constitutional monarchy is interesting, in the prime minister system, the entity is the monarch, and the prime minister is the one who bears the blame, and if there is any problem, throw it on the prime minister's head, and then change the prime minister. And the actual control of this constitutional monarchy is the aristocratic union, and the monarch is the existence used to carry the blame. Although there is no question of changing a monarch, there is a limit to the patience of the people with the monarch, and when the time comes, he will suddenly die, replace himself with a new heir, and relax the policy a little, which is enough to satisfy ordinary people and be grateful to Dade. β
Because most of the people here were trained by Leo as a cadre, and they were all relatively intelligent people, the more I listened to Leo's words, the more flavorful they became, and the more I couldn't help but want to continue listening.
Even Webber and McKinley listened to it with relish, and the two of them didn't think that these things had anything to do with them, but they felt that the logic of the story was very smooth, and they thought it was very funny, and it turned out that there were so many twists and turns in the monarch of the country.
"And further on......" Leo paused, skipping capitalism directly.
"That's the way we are."
"There is no monarch, there is no word - although I am still the dictatorship, you can give me direct advice as representatives of ordinary people."
"Democracy is about dividing officials into two groups and having them fight each other to curry favor with the people, and in the end the people benefit. But there is a trap here, that is, the part of the interest is fixed, the people eat more today, tomorrow they will eat less, how can we ensure that the officials do not treat the people as monkeys. β
"Autocracy is when officials divide the people into two groups, let them fight each other, and in the end the officials benefit. This is easy to understand. β
"That is to say, you can't give ordinary people too much of a voice, because they are short-sighted; But you can't give officials too much power, because they will ignore the interests of ordinary people for their own benefit. β
"So what I'm talking about is a new empty island system."
"A stable political landscape consisting of one, or several, or many people with a long-term strategic vision, supplemented by representatives who speak on behalf of the people, neither to the left nor to the right, and to move steadily forward on the middle avenue."
"I call it ......"
"People's Democratic Dictatorship."
